U got it wrong dey vote him without religion sentiment. Christains are actually minority in all but 1 lGA in bauchi which is bogoro. Tafawa balewa and dass are majority Muslims. It's just like the case of David umar representing Niger state central remember he won against the governor muazu babangida aliyu the population of Christians in niger state is less than 20%. Religion is going to be a big factor in 2019 thanks to CAN etc. One of the reason I doubt if dogara is going back. The governor has already given a candidate his slot already from Tafawa balewa. He is gone and he know it.

The entire northern Nigeria is very religiously sensitive. Southern Bauchi is a spilt and Dogara's constituency is majority Christain.
He will only be finished if he remains in apc. PDP has always been the party. Of his constituency until 2015!

The gamble on APC has been disastrous and such communities across the north are reverting back to PDP.

PrecisionFx:
the way u Afonjas sit at home n create useless stories is alarming, The NE has a very high percentage of Christians,as much as 30/35 percent of NE are Christians and in bauchi same 30 - 35 percent of The populace are Christians.

Dogara comes from a strong Christian community and he has been winning federal reps elections there from 2003 till 2015 before APC came. Don't sit in Oshogbo n assume rubbish

God bless you the guy is too arrogantly ignorant!

TonyeBarcanista:
Yes Sir

What is the on the ground impact on Wike/secondus/PDP, if he defects?

TonyeBarcanista:
Bros, it is real not fake. He even boycotted endorsement rally for Wike held in his District. His boys have already moved

Hmmmm. That is your state right?

Edcure1:
Truly, Dogara's expected defection will have little or no consequence than an aggravation of the current intrigues and frenzy at the National Assembly.

Their influence ends in the National Assembly. They know that. This is why they're fighting tooth and nail to prevent the removal of Saraki as SP.

Most of these "fence sitters" and defectors have been de-facto members of PDP. They have always colluded with the opposition to truncate APC interests.

The APC is well aware of this and, I'm sure the new party leadership could not condone their consistent treachery any longer.
Dogara should join his like-minds in the PDP. He won't be missed. However, he should make sure that the door does not hit him on the way out.

Exactly,the control of NASS is more powerful than having 1m votes in katsina!

MartinCorridon:
One monkey was arguing with me that Tafawa Balewa / Dass / Bogoro constituency that Dogara represents isn't majority Christian. I left him to wallow in his foolishness.

Whether we like it or not, Christians in Bauchi are largely in that Balewa constituency and I have witnessed open discrimination against them in the seat of Power at the capital.

Summary.... Dogara is in the minority even in Bauchi and really can influence votes in 3 LGAs out of 20 in Bauchi

One ignoramus is arguing that christains ain't majority in Dogara's constituency. Yeye dey smell!

Karufi:
Idiot of you will hug transformer when Saraki impeached abi? continue with your foolishness

Stop using foul language.

kahal29:
I concur........ Like I said in another thread

To defeat him will be very easy. Since he represents 3 LGAs - Dass/Balewa/Bogoro constituency, all APC needs to do is to field somebody from either Balewa or Dass since he has been denying these LGAs a chance of representation for over 12 years now, play the religious card since he is a Christian in midst of Muslims and I tell you his name will be sorry in the next election.

Christians are majority in his constituency ie the 3 LGA else a Christian can never win election against a moslem in a moslem majority population!
FACT!
You don't really know his constituency!

Poor Analysis and deliberately skewed to Apc. Dogara is finished if he stays with APC but has lifeline with PDP QED.

He became speaker courtesy of PDP's block support and has been sustained by that, any miscalculation to remain in APC will be terminal!

Shehu Sani is now an orphan politically!

Fiaburnthem:
APC tsunamis is about to hit PDP in all ramifications, 2015 sceneries will be a child's play...
2019, hospitals and heart foundation centers would be filled to the brim because of heart attack some people will suffer this time around when the tsunami will be hitting





I appeal for the doctors with out boarders to stand by to assist our naija doctors in treating people who will have chest pains or heart attack after the tsunami.

Delusional!

senatordave1:
There is some atom of truth in this report.but ill wait till he really defects.if he does,i think apc will win rivers

APC will win all the states in Nigeria sef!

Eketem:
Joshaua Dariye is in Jail.

Philip Aduda is PDP. He came out on social media and TV to disclaim claims that he is decamping to APC.

I am sure on closer scrutiny some may be wrong

APC can't muster 30 senators in flesh and blood to stand up on the floor to impeach saraki. They should stop disturbing us we are focused on sending #buharitoDaura2019

SuperS1Panther:
Really!!!!! It will do you like film trick.

You said that about Kanu

You said that about Fayose.

Gradually you are leading Saraki to the Golgotha.

Stop adducing stuff to me. However you can quote me any and every where with Saraki they can't do jack!

FOLYKAZE:
They acted too fast and foolish. I think they have joined CUPP and with that, they are no longer factionalised APC group. APC can declare all the decampee seat vacant with some legal backing

That actually established them as faction!
The officials of R-APC never joined PDP they are in court.

kurt09:
Good development. Saraki days as Senate President are numbered. Still standing with Buhari for better Nigeria.

They can't do nothing to saraki!

This is the most corrupt govt ever! Stealing and sermonizing about corruption fight.

kcmichael:
So if APC defect now it will become real news

Until a defection, speculation is fake news!

Fake news.

RevenGeMission:
Unless you Dash Sowore ticket in PDP (Or if you change the name of your party)


You can continue your pipe dream


If Sowore accepts the ticket then he's automatically an Omoale Yoruba and everybody would see him as a hypocrite who just wants power , no matter how rotten the platform is

Sowore can't win LGA chairmanship!

madridguy:
Atiku+Saraki+Kwankwaso+Dakwanbo+others are too small for PMB to crush to powder.

February 16th is not far. Allah ya kaimu.

wirinet:
1. He became senate president with 57 out of 109 senators in attendance.

2. No voting actually took place, he was declared elected unopposed at the seating.

3. The "election" took place without the legal proclamation of the Senate by President Buhari.

So if 57 senators can former a quorum to elect senate president, why can't 57 senators seat to impeach a senate president. ( remember 2/3 of 57 is 38).

Hehehehe 55 is the number needed to be senate president and 181 for speaker.
The APC knew left or right Saraki would have defeated Lawan and we're desperate to stop him from contesting to the point of missing in action.
By the time they ran back, Gbajabiamila was defeated by Dogara 182 to 178 to become Speaker.

APC is just a baby at the presidency!

planetx13:
Can you please explain how he became Senate president through illegal means

Don't mind the guy many know next to nothing!

madridguy:
PMB is ahead Atiku 1 Million times. Atiku ruined his political career years ago. I don't need to bring up that again as you know better.

Time shall tell. Anyone who picks the ticket will defeat buhari but, I prefer Atiku.

madridguy:
No marketer can market Atiku to Nigerians. Atiku is a bad market, the earlier the better for the OP.

If buhari can be president, anybody can!

Extend the registration Period!

senatordave1:
Sorry to burst you,i recalculated.pdp didnt get up to 25% in bauchi polls,i didnt include the votes of other parties.therefore,it is a poor performance compared to 2015 where they got over 25%.
The worst result buhari will have is to have majority votes but failing to get 25% in 2/3 states thereby forcing a runoff

PDP mustn't get 25% they simply have to improve on 2015 showing. Are you expecting the infamous 97%: 5% percentile?

Afamed:
And Bogoro will single-handedly return him back to the House of Rep. Day dreamer. All APC needs to do Dogara is to field a candidate from Tafawa Balewa with highest number of voters. Remember he has been denying other Local Government close to 12 yrs now in the House of Rep. You practically no nothing about politics

Hehehehe if you don't know you don't. No need to argue you think if not for religious sentiment with Christians being majority Dogara for win?

Afamed:
Stop arguing blindly. Dogara represents 3 LGA. Bogoro, Dass and Tafawa Balewa. Balewa has multiple voters compared to Bogoro. He can only win in Bogoro if he goes back to PDP. If APC presents a candidate from Tafawa Balewa, Dogara is as good as a goner. All they need is to campaign against him that they need another person from another LGA. Don't forget he has been representing them close to 12yrs now.

Hehehehe you are the one Arguing blindly! Dogara won the seat losing bogoro in 2015 and PDP just won it as expected for reason you don't know! That religious card will be in dogara's favour.

Iamgrey5:
I don't see any reason for presenting him with the tickets if he cannot win his own local government

He was in PDP all along till 2014 when he defected and PDP have always won his local govt.

Bauchi is somehow unique in that it has voted buhari massively like the K states of NW but has largely been PDP at state level.

senatordave1:
They will remain neutral or side with apc allowing secretly.either way,apc will demolish pdp in anambra to get 30%

No problem with that. In fact I long to see the kind of election of June 12 where parties won across the zones.
SDP and NRC were both national parties and had 16: 14 states with SDP controlling the NASS.

In a free and fair election, PDP and Apc both have their strengths but, buhari will be defeated nationally!

Sannisege:
How please?

Don't worry let him defect.
The guy that doesn't argue blindly please go and vote out Dogara you hear.

Iamgrey5:
The margin is nearly 5000votes bro if you add all the margins in his constituency PDP lost by nearly 4000 votes


And don't tell me he is not in PDP yet.

PDP had the strongest showing in his constituency. Coincidence!

PDP have always won Bogoro so no big deal. Until he defects, the showing of PDP can't be adduce to Dogara. He voted apc as an apc member and never campaigned for pdp.

Bauchi politics especially southern zone iis very fluid.
